O'Toole calls Trudeau cabinet 'inexperienced and ideologically driven' in statement

Conservative Party leader Erin O'Toole released a statement on Tuesday calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's latest cabinet a "group of largely inexperienced and ideologically driven individuals."

The statement calls for "serious" solutions, rather than "risky" economic schemes.

"At a time when Canadians are looking for a serious plan to secure Canada's economic future and address the inflation crisis, the Prime Minister appointed a group of largely inexperienced and ideologically driven individuals who represent a real risk to our economic prosperity and our national unity. This is yet another example of Justin Trudeau's record of style over substance."

"With inflation at near twenty-year highs, causing gasoline, grocery and housing prices to skyrocket, and businesses sufferings from major supply chain interruptions, it is clear from today's appointments that the Trudeau government is not serious about addressing Canada's economic challenges.

"Today's changes to cabinet represent just another example of the Prime Minister continuing to reward Ministers who have consistently demonstrated incompetence and lack of accountability.

"Canadians will only get higher prices, higher taxes, and smaller paycheques under this government's economic plan. What they deserve are solutions to our economic challenges, not more risky and unproven economic schemes. Canada's Conservatives are ready to get back to work and will hold the Prime Minister to account for his failed economic policies."
